Thanks to all who commented and looked, I must admit to being influenced
by Chris Crawfords wonderful images, but I hope I made my own mark on them.
I have been away - we had the company ski weekend event and although we
don't get to ski much 'cos of the little 'uns we did rediscover the
delights of sledging, Luc as only a 4 year old can was laughing his head
off as we bounced over the bumps totally unaware of the possible danger,
just really enjoying himself as was I (and Kerstin and Cai) - helicopter
parents we are not!
for those interested All photos were processed the same way I seem to do
99% percent of my arty farty pictures these days
Lightroom to process exposure then highligh and shadow recovery
possible a bit of clarity and some cropping and straigtening, then I
use silver efex pro 2 to convert to BW, usually choosing one of the
presets and rarely making an adjustment to that.
One thing I have noticed is that the OMD seems to allow better shadow
recovery and the Xpro-1 betters it in highlight recovery so shooting to
the right is no longer always optimal.
The rope in this one is actually a power cable, a year or so ago an
advertising company did some filming there and they used some props, the
chair and slippers are props that got left behind as I assume are any
other items in the images, including the broken chair and broom. I did
not move or rearrange any items.

The marble column is actually a wood burning stove, made mostly from
stone to act like a giant storage heater, we have a seat version in our
house which got converted to electric - we would like to convert it back
at some point as it takes two days to reach temperature using electric
so rarely gets used.

I have posted some pictures of the outside before such as these, however
I don't have a shot of the whole building which I will try and rectify
this week.
